Still, I know that most of us would pick Roadblock over Heavy Duty anyday. |

Woah, not so fast. Don't judge those around you.
I'm not happy at all about this Heavy Duty deal myself. BUT... 1) We still don't know for sure if the character will indeed be Heavy Duty. It could still be Roadblock. Doubtful, but possible. 2) I think there are much bigger concerns. What really matters is whether the film will be good "AS A FILM", not that much "AS AN ADAPTATION". Sticking to comic or cartoon "canon" will not guarantee a good film. In fact, it could very well mean the opposite. That being said, I actually DON'T want this film to be a copycat of the comic or the cartoon. I want this to be a new take. Sure, I also want them to keep the essence of the mythos. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a new "take", it would be another universe altogether. So, YES... if they can use classic characters and keep their essence, that's great. If not, well... we all have our limits. For now, I don't mind them using the name "Heavy Duty" instead of "Roadblock" (because the character in the film will most probably be a hybrid). As for why they would use the name Heavy Duty and not Roadblock? Who knows. Maybe because of Sigma 6 and kids. Have faith.

Like BBWD said, long as it's Joe vs. Cobra -- with CC, Destro, Baroness, Duke, Scarlett, SE and SS, the rest is just icing on the cake. I just want an entertaining movie that is based on the G.I.*Joe with a modern feel to it. They can use characters from '82 to '92 for all I care (just as long as they aren't wearing anything florescent! ;) ). Don't loose faith in Hasbro yet. We are all just working off rumors at this point with only a few things actually confirmed. |

It's funny that there's backlash about Heavy Duty POSSIBLY being picked before Roadblock.....but no one cares that Duke is showing up before Hawk? If Heavy Duty is truly just a lame replacement for Roadblock, well what do ya think Duke is?
It's a code name, I'm willing to bet that's the only change there will be. The movie character Heavy Duty will probably be exactly like Roadblock just with a different name. I see no problem here And to get really nitpicky, technically Hama never wrote GI Joe, he adapted his original army team to fit into the Hasbro made GI Joe team. Also, according to JMM's GI Joe Comic Encyclopedia, Heavy Duty appeared in the original marvel run in issues 130 and 131 |

Besides...
Back in the day, there were already differences between the cartoon, comic and toyline. I remember being confused about it, but in the end I accepted the fact that each medium was a different interpretation of the same mythos. Film, as another medium, won't be the exception.
